Reviews

June 2010

“As this well-played performance shows, Gaubert's romantic sensibility was enhanced by a refined appreciation of instrumental timbre. Gaubert, in this instance, resembles a sort of Gallic Glazunov. Nothing wrong with that, once in a while.”

July/August 2010

“It is well-crafted, pleasant and expertly orchestrated...Soustrot's conducting is idiomatic, too, and one feels that no stone has been left unturned to present Guabert's score in the best light.”
